Play With Maths: Mathematical Games Through Wims

WIMS, a Community of Teachers, Developers and Users

“…2 If we focus on the more complex task of managing interactive activities and effectively analyzing user answers, one of the strengths of WIMS is its ability to interact with representations and drawings. For example, the activity Triangular shoot 3 allows the users to familiarize themselves with the centers of a triangle (barycenter, orthocenter, incenter, and circumcenter). Every time the exercise is selected, a different randomly generated triangle is proposed.…”

“…WIMS can be used for mathematics teaching because it can provide students with many engaging exercises. There are many descriptions of experiences with WIMS for teaching (e.g., see [1], [2], [6], [9], [11], [12], [8], [3]), showing (at different school levels, in different class situations, in different subjects) that WIMS-based exercises, with automatic marking, can motivate students and keep their attention alive. Moreover, WIMS can be used for exams, through special functions that guarantee an appropriate level of security and control.…”
